    Can you find the face in the clouds?

    The first photo reminded me how I used to look for shapes in the clouds when I was a kid. :-) And yes, there is a face in there. See if you can find it.

    The second photo is my first (and pitiful) attempt at shooting lighting. Long exposure on this one (about 40 seconds).

    And more cloud photos! Sunrise and sunset on the same day.

    I love the shots you managed to get there! Yes I did see the face in the first bit, although my favourite is the last one!

    Lightning is hard to capture without a lightning trigger.

    I've got plenty of shots where the lightning is small and/or obsured by clouds.

    Love the cloud shots buddy!

    I see Wendy, flying on the left. Peter Pan is obviously behind the big cloud, as you can see his hand stretching out to hold hers.

    All I see is a giant squid. Seriously, I can show you if you want me too. I don't see the face though.

    Re: Can you find the face in the clouds?

    I see the face now

    And the head portion of the squid is the sharper focused portion of the clouds just behind the "nose" of the face. See, I'm not nuts.

    The squid thing is what I thought was a half portion of a face.

    The top picture about in the center. It's a profile.

    No face, unless it's Pinocchi in profile on the righthand side with the long nose
    That last photo is really good, best of the lot.

    Don't know if this is what Ray saw as a face. But I see this as a partial right side of a face.

    Beginning about a third the way down and to the right.

    Hey everyone!

    Thanks for the comments. Glad everyone was having fun with this. But I fail to see the squid, lol!

    Lara, here's the profile of the face circled.

    Re: Can you find the face in the clouds?

    Oh! It's so weird that I saw a face in a totally different spot. I guess if we stare long enough at clouds, we can find many faces/images! Thanks for posting. This was fun. Can you see the forehead and eye that I spotted in the cloud? I have a feeling that was Trevors squid findings. lol

    Are you guys really having trouble?

    C'mon, there are at least a dozen faces in those clouds. And if you really look, you should be able to see just about any person, place, or thing you want to see in a cloud...

    If not, you either need to find a kid to show you how to again, or take a refresher course in Imagination 101...
